Notes - History of John Duncan of Laurens Co., S.C.:
"Native Americans or American Indians,m were the first known inhavitants of
the area now known as Laurens Co..
The chreokee Indians, members of the Iroquo9is nation, lived and hunted in the
western and central piedmont of S.C..
Many Indians arifacts have been unearthed in the areas along the Enoree River,
Bush River, and Rabon Creek.
Early settleres to the western piedmont area of the Carolinas came down
through the backcountry of Pennsylvania, Marland and Virginia and were
Scottish-Irish.
The first known White settler to arrive in what is now Laurens County was
JOHN DUNCAN in 1753.
JOHN DUNCAN .... from Aberdeen, Scottland, spent a few years in Pennsylvania
before moveing south.
He liked the lush vegetation and abundant wildlife he found in this area and
settled around a creek in the northeastern section of the country not far from
the present city of Clinton.
John Duncan built a rustick house, a few outbuildings, a distillery, and
organized a chruch. He brought the first African slave and the first
horse-drawn wagon into the area. Of course, the creek near which he settled
is known today as Duncan's Creek, and the chruch, still in existence, is the
Duncans' Creek Presbyterian church, the oldest church in Laurens County and
one of the oldest Presbyterian churches in the backcountry...."
